Laboratory Instrument Calibration - Recorded Webinar

RECORDED: Access recorded version only for one participant; unlimited viewing for 6 months (Access information will be emailed 24 hours after the completion of payment)

SPEAKER: John (Jerry) Lanese

OVERVIEW:
This web seminar builds on the terminology found in 21CFR160(b)(4) and introduces terminology and concepts not found in the regulation , but necessary for an effective calibration program, such as instrument classifications. It applies measurement uncertainty or test accuracy ratio to specific calibration procedures and the selection of standards to provide scientifically sound calibrations traceable to national references. The discussion applies the concepts discussed to specific key instruments found in the testing laboratory.

Why should you Attend: It is important that the laboratory have an instrument calibration program that assures that the instruments are calibrated at appropriate intervals using specific procedures that define the standards and tolerances appropriate for the intended use of the instrument. In this webinar we will discuss instrument classification, getting the instrument into the calibration program, removing the instrument from the calibration program, instrument classification, limits of accuracy and precision and remedial actions in the event that an instrument is found to be out of tolerance. All of these are elements of a compliant program

Areas Covered in the Session:
- The Regulatory and Technical requirements for calibration
- What Should be Included in a Calibration Program
- The Importance of a data-based Calibration Interval and Limits of Accuracy and Precision
- The Impact of Measurement Uncertainty when Establishing Limits of Accuracy
- The Classification of Test Instruments
- Current Practices in the Calibration of Specific Instruments
